Punishing users for undesired security behavior? We believe that punishing users is a misguided idea that will alienate them and make it difficult to ever improve user security behavior. Every so often, someone in the industry brings up the idea of punishing users as a way of motivating/improving behavior. We hadn’t heard much on this topic since we wrote a post on it back in September; however, it has flared up again.

This is the official rebirth of our blog. For a while now, this blog lay dormant, while the team at PhishMe was anything but. Sales and Marketing has been trying to keep up with the interest while Dev, Operations, and support have consistently delivered the most cutting edge phishing awareness services on the market. It’s a pity the blog hasn’t kept up because we have a lot of interesting thoughts and statistics to share, better late than never. Stay tuned for the latest on phishing news, our lessons learnt from successfully training people to thwart targeted phishing, and anything else we feel like rambling about.
